**3. Young Mathematicians program of research**

The Young Mathematicians (YM) program began in 2013 with a study to explore how math games could promote mathematics learning and persistence for preschool children attending Head Start programs. After successfully developing and testing a set of seven math games with over thirty classrooms in three Head Start programs and hearing from teachers that who wished families had access to these games, we expanded the work in 2015 by adding a family math component. The new intervention included both a classroom math and a family math component.
